Keep The Main Thing, the Main Thing

You have probably heard your upline say this to you if you have been in network marketing for more than a month. There are several variations, but the basic statement is “Keep the main thing, the main thing”.

What they fail to mention is that the *Main Thing* is different for everyone.

Since the *Main Thing* is working for them, they assume it will work for you. It’s what they teach, it’s what they preach and it’s what they ask you to do 100 times a day. But what if your *Main Thing* is focusing on product customers (as opposed to sponsoring new teammates)? Will their *Main Thing* work for you?

Or what if you are focused on one specific type of product customer, say … Arthritis Sufferers. Are the techniques they are asking you to use going to work for that *market*? Probably not.

So, while you should keep the *Main Thing*, the *Main Thing*, yours might be different. And that’s okay.

So, “Keep the Main Thing, the Main Thing, and make it your Main Thing”

Success is a direct product of focused action towards a specific goal. That “focused action” is your *Main Thing*. It’s something you should be doing daily. It’s something you should be improving upon, refining, and expanding.

And it should be uniquely yours.

Find what works for you and stick with it. And for heaven’s sake, don’t force your new team mates to use your *Main Thing*. Let them develop their own. Your job is merely to point them in the right direction and give them the tools to accomplish what they want to.

You can’t force a square peg in a round hole, so don’t even try.
